Kewl. I know the last deal fell through. Put feelers out on the boards. When I was looking, I had 2 or 3 that I found through NAXJA, they were just a little further away then the guy I bought it from. I found him on JU. The XJ D44's are out there, you'll find one.

When you do, it's an easy swap. We could get it installed in less than a day no problem.

As for me, I have a modest list for the winter:
[1] Cooling upgrades including, 3 row radiator, manual bypass for the aux fan and possibly a high flow water pump
[2] Manual bypass for the AW4 TCU
[3] Install Four Real front bumper and Warn winch
[4] Home brew the rear leafs to get 3-4 inches of lift and install coils to match
[5] Bumpstop plates in the rear to tune the rear suspension correctly
[6] Adj. front trackbar...extension bracket at a minimum.
[7] ZJ pitman arm
[8] Possible T-case drop (will most likely need it)
[9] Lots of wiring to accomodate all of the cool switches with blinky lights

Will that satisfy yer craving for mods Dale?_________________97 XJ Sport with a bunch of stuff

1.] Install Four-Real Safari Roof-Rack, w/ aluminum rails, tire carrier, and Hi-Lift Jack mounts...
2.] Mount my PIAA lights on the front-part of the rack along with two more round lights flanking them...
3.] Mount two rear-facing square lamps on the rear rack for back-up purposes...
4.] Wire up the whole $%#%^-da%^ mess together to a switch box...
5.] Install the hood-lifts that Mako products sells that pulls the hood slightly away from the gasket in the back, allowing more air into the engine area (to cool the $%^-bi#@$ off!!!!)...
6.] Buying and installing Warn front-and-rear bumpers with the eye-let shackles, front push bar, 2" receivers, and rear tire carrier (and cursing myself for buying the damn $%^$ tire-carrier for the roof-rack in the first place), and removing my rear receiver and front tow hooks and trying to work a deal with Dale on them (then ending up GIVING the damn things to him for helping me install all the crap from 1-to-6... ).

Yup, that sums it all up for me...

Ohh, one more thing...

6.] Kicking myself in the a$$ for buying rear AALs in the first place and watching my rig sink FASTER in the rear, then buying a Superflex 5.5 lift kit with SYE, T-Case drop, and the works and BEGGING everyone to come over in the dead of winter to help install it!!! )

I'd pass on the hood lift...the back of the hood is not considered a "hot spot". They are more towards the front and center on XJ's. A down and dirty (and cheap) solution would be to install some hood vents similar to what Swampy has done to his ZJ:

Then save yer money and install a 3 row metal radiator (as opposed to the 2 row, plastic POS that's in there now)._________________97 XJ Sport with a bunch of stuff

Ok, I will be getting 3" Superflex leaf springs from 4Wheel Drive Specialists for a great price, so that will replace the sagging leafs. I had to cancel my order for the roof rack for now due to family medical issues that popped up, but I will have the leafs ready to install real soon._________________

Just let us know dude. Everyone else too...let me know when you are a week or two away from being ready to do a mod, so we can plan a wrecking...er...I mean...wrenching crew. _________________97 XJ Sport with a bunch of stuff
